Gov. Tony Evers appointed John Florsheim to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation board of directors this week, filling a vacancy created by Jack Salzwedel’s resignation.
“John’s executive experience, along with his leadership and extensive business knowledge, makes him a great fit for the WEDC Board of Directors,” Evers said in a statement. “Ensuring Wisconsinites have the opportunities to grow and expand their businesses and support our local talent is a key mission of the board, and I have no doubt John’s expertise will help bolster our goals, maintain our economic momentum and continue to make Wisconsin a place folks want to start a business and call home.”
Florsheim is the president and chief operating officer of Weyco Group Inc.
“I’m honored and excited to join the WEDC Board and look forward to contributing to the important work WEDC does to support economic growth and strengthen communities across Wisconsin,” Florsheim said in a statement.
